"ocd vs depression"

I struggled and was treated for years for depression. I was extremely anxious, had terrible panic attacks and I did not want to live. My GP was very efficient and referred me to the Mental health department, wow how my life changed! ! ! I met a CBT therapist in Markievcz house and she turned my whole life around, I found out I had OCD which had taken over my life and led to depression. The CBT therapist worked with me for I think 10 sessions, and with hard work, mindfulness and truthfulness I came out the other end positively.

Today I am a totally different person and I owe all this to that lady that was professional and determined to help me. I cannot remember her name and I think she has left the service herself now but I feel I have to mention the good work these professionals do and thank them from the bottom of my heart for their dedication.
